I feel bad giving a 2-star rating. The quality of food is very good and culturally dear to me.
But they use milk in potato masala. That means every masala dosa is off the table for a vegan.
When that happens and a vegan customer tells you that milk can easily be replaced in the recipe and your response is that only 5% of the people visiting are vegan, it means you are very clear about who your target audience is, and that you don’t care about animal rights or the sentiments of vegan customers.
Give me one good reason to give more than 2 stars. Even 2 stars is a stretch and is probably coming from my heart. The brain and activist in me would give 0 stars if possible.
Located inside the food court. They are one of the few restaurants in the food court with their own tables. The plain dosa is vegan. Their Uttapams can be made vegan on request. I liked their ice teas.
For some reason, reviews of this excellent restaurant are likely to appear with its sister outlet in the donestic terminal.
Update to original review: they are good about making dosas etc without ghee, butter, etc, if you ask.
Top quality, delicious. I had the lrava idli, which was fluffy and superb. And something I'd never had before, the podi uttapam--also very fluffy texture with a unique taste. It's going to be a regular every time I stop here...and to take on plane.
Although I'm now a vegan, I did not inquire about ghee in these items. They are not obviously ghee-y like upma and (my former favorite) dosas.

Sorry to add to my earlier review that podi apparently includes ghee.
